Nice.
To add on to Jim's post, for some flexibility you might add some
rotation too and just call the function drawArrow:
function drawArrow (target_mc:MovieClip, color:Number, width:Number,
height:Number, rotation:Number) {
var size:Number = Math.round((width / 2) - 2);
var startY:Number = Math.round((height / 2) - (size / 2));
var startX:Number = Math.round((width / 2) - (size / 2));
target_mc.lineStyle(0, color, 100);
target_mc.moveTo(startX, startY+1);
target_mc.beginFill(color);
target_mc.lineTo(Math.round(startX + (size / 2)), (size + startY
- 1));
target_mc.lineTo((size + startX), startY);
target_mc.lineTo(startX, startY);
target_mc.endFill();
target_mc._rotation = rotation;
}
